VIRTUAL PROGRAM: Classic Restaurants Of Boston

March 24, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Meeting via email.**  

Author Zachary Lamothe will discuss his new book, Classic Restaurants of Boston, on Zoom.

The story of Boston is inextricably linked to food, hence its nickname Beantown. Given the city’s geography, its cuisine is understandably tied to the sea, with popular dishes such as lobster, oysters and clam chowder. These are still served today at classic restaurants like Union Oyster House, Parker’s Restaurant and Legal Sea Foods. There are also neighborhood favorites such as Cantina Italiana in the North End and Sullivan’s in Southie. In addition to Boston proper, the surrounding areas have their own specialties, including fried clams, the world’s best roast beef sandwich and bar pizza. From famous spots like Cheers to new classics like Anna’s Taqueria and the Summer Shack, join local author Zachary Lamothe as he explores the best food in Beantown.

Hailing from Connecticut, Zachary Lamothe grew up in a house built in 1752 and from an early age was always intrigued by local lore and history. Zack studied New England history and folklore while a student at Boston University, attaining a degree in American Studies. He earned a Master’s Degree in Special Education at Southern Connecticut State University and has taught high school special education and history. The author of four books, Zack is also the editor of www.backyardroadtrips.com which features family-friendly places to go throughout New England with an emphasis on nature, craft beer, and history.
